Does the PowerPro chart have a setting for the Shaper?

I'm not sure - I'm going into the shop shortly and I'll check.

Most shaping I've done was on the fence, but I've used the rub collars a few times. It has been a long time. They do burn. I recall doing a lot of sanding afterward. Bearings would be an improvement for sure. You could try a test piece or two in whatever wood type you are using to see how objection...

Which arbor do you have. Here is the Shaper Spindle with Ball Bearing rub collars: https://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/catalog/ball_bearing_shaper_spindle.htm Does that look like what you have? don't know if they sell those parts separately. I can't tell if that's the same arbor provided in the reg...

I've had the Shopsmith shaper for quite a while and I only just got round to wanting to use it, as most smaller stuff I've done on the router table. I'm about to finally fit the double tilt kit, which will make it easy to do under table shaping, using the PowerPro. I've watched a couple of videos on...

I'm having the banging problem with this older Shopsmith. Time to contact them and see if they offer any useful help. If they can't tell me anything else I'm going to check those settings to see if they've been changed at all. If I run out of options I'll try the changes. I'm very interested to see...

I get a lot of rf from led lights , have not noticed any issue with the MK V Fortunately I'm not really affected by it, but when I used to have my shack in my shop, I wondered where the hell all that noise was coming from, until I turned the PowerPro off. Fortunately, I've never been on-the-air whi...

There were multiple molder heads. I don't know if any were made by Shopsmith. The 4000RPM max may be the manufacturers spec. Can you see which molder head you had according to this post from chapmanruss : https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?t=27362&hilit=molder Following that link, I defi...

...Is the Molder covered in the online chart on PowerPros with updated software, or is it something that Shopsmith decided to leave out, perhaps due to memory restriction? ... It is included in the newer ones. 3600 RPM Forward. It is under Table Saw, rather than a stand-alone. My PowerPro is about ...

Hopefully an easy question to answer: I bought the original Molder setup (steel hub) and most of the knives, many years ago and have not had a need to use them. On setting up today, I notice that the hub has stamped on it "Do not exceed 4000 rpm". I started to wonder if that speed might ha...

The instructions in those links are not the same as the ones I was given. As the cat's already out of the bag, I see no harm in relating my instructions, but I would stress that if anyone has issues doing this, I accept no responsibility and in fact I advise not to do it. From switch on: Press LOCK ...
